个人简介

I originally trained as a Physicist, receiving my PhD in 1991 from Imperial College, London on the construction of novel Scanning Tunnelling Microscopes and their application in nanolithography. I subsequently took up a postdoctoral position in the Laboratory of Biophysics and Surface Analysis (LBSA), a Research Division of the School of Pharmacy, (www.nottingham.ac.uk/pharmacy/lbsa), The University of Nottingham under the direction of Martyn Davies, Saul Tendler and David Jackson. In 1994 I took up an academic position in the School of Pharmacy as a Lecturer in Biophysics, and in 2001 as Reader in Biomedical Nanotechnology. In January 2005 I was promoted to the post of Chair of Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology. During this time the LBSA has gained an internationally leading reputation and track record in surface analysis of pharmaceuticals, polymers and biomaterials receive awards such as the GlaxoSmithKline International Achievement Award (2003), given for "internationally recognized work on drug delivery and new techniques for surface and interface analysis". The LBSA was also an important element in the award to the School of Pharmacy of a Queens Award for Enterprise (Innovation), 2007 for "…enhancing significantly the development of new medicines." From its founding in 2005 to 2013 I took up the role of the Director of the Nottingham Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre (nnnc), The University of Nottingham. This multi-million pound Centre is an equal collaboration between the Schools of Pharmacy, Chemistry, Physics and Engineering and became Research Director of the School of Pharmacy (2010-13). The nnnc helps coordinate research and education in nanoscience across the University and offers a range of state of the art analytical facilities (www.nottingham.ac.uk/nano). In addition, I was also the lead academic applicant of, eminate Ltd, a ￡6.5M TSB funded Nottingham University company which rapidly translates products to the market including the multi-award winning salt reduction product, SodaLo. I was also Technical Development Director of a successful spin-out, Molecular Profiles Ltd itself a recent recipient of a number of awards including a Queens Award for Enterprise. Nanotechnology has served as a great platform to support my work in public engagement including several major initiatives, including NanoinNottingham, 2007, the NanoWhat East Midlands roadshow in 2008 and the Flights of Fancy Exhibition at the Nottingham Contemporary in 2011.

研究领域

exploitation of novel manufacturing routes for formulation manufacture, in particular based around 3D printing. the application of statistical modelling and nanoscale methods for early stage screening of formulations, in particular of amorphous drugs and solid dispersions.

My research interests are concentrated on the application of novel analytical and formulation strategies to develop new medicines and biomedical devices.
